I am regretfully moving out of my beautiful 2 bedroom apartment on one of the prettiest blocks in New York City, Bank Street between Waverly and West 4th. I've been here with my roommate since covid (one of those deals) and am only leaving for an opportunity that came up.

I'm hoping to either replace myself in my bedroom ($2400/month, currently configured as a full, dresser, desk, chair, and closet, but large enough to fit a king with fewer items) beginning 11/15, OR to establish a full lease takeover of the apartment ($5000/month) beginning 12/15. Your roommate, if just the bedroom, will be a 29 y/o law student who keeps generally quiet morning hours but also enjoys the occasional dinner party and friends over on the weekends.

This apartment is extremely bright--the bedroom in question features an enormous 5'5" tall window that lights it up so well that I never use lights until the evening. The larger bedroom is the same and includes a fire escape. The apartment is in the rear of the building, overlooking a garden. It isn't an exaggeration to say you wake up to birds chirping in the morning.

It is a sizeable place: a large living room, a completely separate eat-in kitchen, and 9' ceilings all around.

It's a well-maintained prewar building, with all the perks (high ceilings, thick walls, quiet, moldings and wood details), as well as the drawbacks (no elevator, no dishwasher, etc.). But as far as they go, I've always thought this place was pretty miraculous. Super lives downstairs and is friendly and available; handyman lives in the building; management office is three blocks away. I've become friends with many of my neighbors during my time here; it feels like a vestige of the old Village.

About This Lister

I'm a 28 y/o filmmaker and writer, and my roommate is a 29 y/o law student. In terms of replacing myself, I know my roommate would be thrilled to see someone who works a little less remotely (or more hybrid) than I do!

Lister's Relationship to the Space

I am the current tenant

Rental requirements

You will need to replace me on the lease for the 1 bed, which would mean the usual 40x income or a guarantor, credit check, etc. Ideally we'd meet, see if you're a fit with my roommate, and then proceed to the leasing office to get set. They're well-aware and expecting a new tenant in your name.
